in that case I would wire it in on the earth side of a relay coil, so that when tilted the relay will drop out, I would then feed the power for either the fuel pump or Coils through the relay contacts so that when the relay drops out the feed is cut.
I would also fit an over ride toggle switch on the dash just in case

How about wiring it in series with the run/cut-out switch? Would that not be the simplest way to do it?

The reason I wouldn't do it direct like that is that circuits like the Ignition can draw 7 to 10 amps and unless you know what the tilt switch is rated at may not be a good idea, if its anything like the one on my TL1000S it will not be designed for that sort of current as it only needs to spply an interupt signal to the ECU.
Hence my suggestion to put a relay in series and interupt the relay with the tilt switch

Did you go with a Over ride switch or choose to do with out, as its me riding my own bikes I would go with one, but if its someone else riding my bike I may choose to do without

I went without one, keep it simple.

Get Jimbers to wear a lanyard round his wrist to cut the engine, not when he falls off but when he selects 1st gear. Cuts out the messy bit and you can always throw the bike off a building for the full effect too

Stop picking on Jimbers! he's assured me that he's far more focused this session, well I think that's what he meant [quote] "No more of those silly low speed crashes for me I'm determined to be much faster this year"
